Capture the Magic

Everyone can be the one who holds magic within and becomes the "chosen one" in this world. Even in adulthood, we shouldn't give up living in our dreams or believing in fantasy the way we did as kids.

With that hope in mind, I created this game using creative gesture interactions to collect Clow Cards from my childhood favorite anime, Cardcaptor Sakura. Built with Figma Make, the experience allows you to use intuitive hand gestures to shuffle the cards, spread them out, gather them, and pick and capture them. Once you have captured them all, you are the true Cardcaptor!

This solo project reached over 250,000 views across social media, with thousands of people reaching out wanting to try it themselves. It also caught the attention of Kimi, a leading AI model, who contacted me for a marketing collaboration to help showcase their model's capabilities.

The intention behind this project is simple: something fun and dreamy that rediscovers the courage we once had as kids, the courage to imagine all possibilities. Even though we cannot have real magic in the real world, we can still believe that our small efforts have the power to influence the environment and the people close to us, just like the protagonists in those animation world.
